AT 132 - 7th August [373.3]

 



The Notch Hostel (again again)


Climbed the Kinsman’s and the down was tough. More straight downs. I enjoyed it but the knees are crying a little. There was a hut on the way so I looked in since we’ll be staying in them in the Whites. Just down the hill was Lonesome Lake, I just had to swim. #32.  Went to Flume Visitors centre and hitched a ride into town, took a while. Got to hostel and showered and then scrounged a lift to town. Got gloves and waterproof trousers because the weather tomorrow is BAD. Had a great dinner in a brewery. Just happened to meet a shuttle driver outside who dropped us back.
